Advanced researches of closed cycle MHD power generation in Tokyo Institute of Technology: FUJI-1 experiments and numerical simulations

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20000332
The recent developments of power generation experiments and numerical simulations for closed cycle MHD power generation performed at Tokyo Institute of Technology are explained and discussed. The FUJI-1 experiments realize 18.4% of enthalpy extraction, and the 38.1 and 30.1% of enthalpy extraction are obtained by shock tunnel facility for He/Cs and Ar/Cs working gases, respectively. The author can succeed with the 3-dimensional calculations of two temperature model equation for nonequilibrium plasma in a disk generator. The experimental and numerical results promise a high efficiency MHD power generation system, and a typical system which realizes the total efficiency of 60% is proposed.
